Crafts and other DIY Projects
If you are into making things yourself this is for you. On Hello Miss Martha you can find all sorts of fun activities. One of the more exciting and cute kid-friendly ones is the Ghost Hunt. Sounds spooky. This is not only for Halloween but maybe a fun sleepover idea as well.
You can print the ghost hunt instructions on the site as well to make it easier. Let’s begin with the basics. Print out the spooky ghosts. Then glue popsicle sticks to some of the ghosts. For the ghosts being placed inside use double-sided tape to easily stick them to walls.
Now let’s hide those ghosts. Try and find tricky spots or ones that are easy to spot depending on the age level that is playing. Parents are of course free to help out and guide the players to the ghosts. It is all about having fun and not a race.
Do not forget to create a Spooky Basket to help collect all the ghosts, set up some key rules, and include a spooky story or a chant, maybe a witchy spell.
